How to Make Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

In a small microwave-safe glass bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening.
Microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until melted and smooth. Stir halfway through to ensure even melting.
Dip potato chips, one at a time, into the melted chocolate, coating one-half to three-quarters of each chip.
Gently pull the chip against the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Place the chocolate-covered chips on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
